After Yang Jin and his entourage left the mansion of the third prince, according to Yang Jin's meaning, they immediately set off to return to Yang's mansion, but it was already close to the end of the day, and it was too late to hurry.

Yang Haoran opened his mouth and said: "Father, it's not too early, we have just arrived in the imperial city now, and we are tired of traveling and driving, and now if we rush overnight, it is not appropriate to find an inn to rest for one night, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Yang Jin also looked up at the sky, he nodded and said, "Okay, rest for one night first, and set off tomorrow morning." ”

The night in the imperial city is even more lively, the lights are bright, and the streets are still full of people.

On the main hall of the Three Princes' Mansion, the Three Princes sat on the right seat, and he said to Mr. Liu next to him: "I will truthfully tell my father about this matter tomorrow morning in the court. ”

In fact, Liu Yuxuan really had no intention of becoming the crown prince at the beginning, he just wanted to help his father share some things, but he didn't expect to arouse the jealousy of his eldest brother as the crown prince, worried that he would threaten his position, so he assassinated him many times.

"Your Highness, this time the matter is indeed not as simple as imagined, and these things have been in the prince's calculations from the beginning. It stands to reason that since the emperor intends to let several of His Royal Highness's brothers and brothers deal with what happened in Yancheng, this is a good opportunity for the prince to consolidate his position, and if he does it well, he can win the hearts of the people, and even get the favor of the emperor, but in the end, the prince actually tried his best to recommend this opportunity to His Royal Highness, it seems that they have already found a plan, but there is no suitable opportunity. ”

Liu Yuxuan frowned and said: "I still know my eldest brother very well, with his own strategy, he can't think of such a big plan, it seems that the court and the central government are still supporting him, but I don't know who it is." ”

Mr. Liu spoke again: "Your Highness, you may not know, but I still heard about it, and many people have spread it again, saying that the national teacher and the prince are very close, maybe this assassination plan has a lot to do with the national teacher." ”

"If that's the case, then it's reasonable, the henchman of the national teacher's father is deeply favored by his father, and the national teacher has always been scheming and decisive, it seems that he will have to be more careful in the future. ”

At this time, a person came in from the gate of the main hall and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Situ asks to see you." ”

"Hurry up, please. ”

The person who came got up and retreated, Situ Jiannan walked in and saw that Liu Yuxuan and the two were fine, he opened his mouth and said, "It's okay if you're okay." ”

"Mr. Situ has finally rushed back, please sit down, we are fine. ”

Mr. Liu said a little angrily: "Mr. Situ, didn't we make an appointment to have a round at the intersection of Yancheng and Luzhou City, why did you only arrive now, do you know what we encountered on the way? This time, Shadow Kill dispatched one-third of its strength to assassinate His Highness, if we hadn't been prepared and invited the three major families of Yancheng to protect His Highness all the way back, His Highness would have been more and less murderous this time." ”

"Teacher, don't you say a few words, aren't we fine, Mr. Situ should have also encountered something, so he delayed the time. Liu Yuxuan opened his mouth and said in harmony.

Situ Jiannan next to him said: "According to the agreed time, I set off to meet you at the agreed place, at this time, I received an anonymous letter, asking me to go to a place in Yancheng, otherwise the life of someone very important to me will be lost, at that time, I didn't believe it, but the letter also came with an item, which was something he carried, I was worried about his safety, because the distance was too far, so I rushed over first."

When I arrived at the location, most of the day had passed, Rumeng was tied to a big tree, I put her down, asked her what was going on, she said she didn't know, she was knocked unconscious for some reason, and when she woke up, she was tied up here, I checked around and there was no one else. Not many people know about my relationship with Rumeng. After I rescued her, I knew that the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain at this time, so I rushed over with her as soon as possible, but it was still a step too late. ”

What happened to Situ Jiannan was really as they thought, and it was also calculated.

"It seems that the time for them to prepare for this assassination is not a day or two, even Mr. Situ is in their plan, the opponent clearly knows that with Mr. Situ here, it is too difficult for them to succeed, so they use Mr. Situ's weakness to lure him away, so as to reduce the difficulty of the task, they just didn't expect that when they were in the weir city, they showed their feet, so that we were prepared, and we escaped this catastrophe smoothly. ”

The third prince said: "That's right, they were afraid of Mr. Situ's strength, so they investigated Mr. Situ and then lured him away, because they knew that as long as Mr. Situ was there, their assassination would have no chance of success." ”

Liu Junshi said: "Fortunately, there are three major families in Yancheng this time, especially a few people from the Yang family, they are really good." It's just a pity for the young man named Feng Lichen. ”

"The Yang Mansion is the first achievement this time, I wanted to entertain them well, but they have already returned to Yancheng overnight, and at present, only the people of the Situ family and the Qin family are in the mansion, and I will entertain them well after I come back tomorrow. ”

The third prince said: "Originally, I was not interested in the position of the prince, but my eldest brother was so ruthless, and he repeatedly assassinated me for fame and fortune and status, since you are so ruthless, then I will fight, it seems that this is the sorrow of living in the emperor's house, I wanted to live quietly and live the life I like, but my eldest brother did not give me a way to live, then I could only compete with him." After saying this, the eyes of the three princes became very sharp.

Mr. Liu asked, "Your Highness, are you really sure?"

The third prince turned to look at Liu Junshi, and Liu Junshi said instantly: "I understand, since we have decided to fight, then we need to think about it in the long run." ”

"The specific plan is to trouble the teacher to help me, how to make my eldest brother step down by himself, I have a request that he must be spared in the end, after all, we are brothers. ”

"The subordinates understand, the benevolence of the three princes, the old man admires, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you like this, you have to save his life in the end, and His Royal Highness will ascend the throne in the future, he must be a good monarch and a blessing to the people. ”

The third prince sighed: "I also hope that I can be ruthless, but I have never been ruthless, maybe it is with my mother, okay, everything will be Teacher Lao." In addition, can the teacher go and help me check the national teacher, I always feel that he is not what he seems on the surface. ”

"No problem, I'll arrange it. ”

At this time, Situ Jiannan said: "There are some things that need to be made clear, I promised to stay by your side to protect you, I will protect your life, I will never interfere in other things, let alone get involved in your royal imperial dispute." ”

"Mr. Situ, don't worry, you just need to keep your promise, I won't force you to do anything else, and with Mr. Situ's strength, if you don't make a move, no one can do anything to you!" replied with a smile.

"I'm going back first, I'm going to arrange a new place for Rumeng. After Situ Jiannan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Liu Yuxuan asked again, "Mr. Situ, you have to arrive for tomorrow's banquet." ”

Situ Jiannan didn't reply: "No need, I don't see some people." ”

After Situ Jiannan left, Mr. Liu said angrily: "This Situ Jiannan relies on his own strength, and no one cares about it, which is really unreasonable." ”

The third prince said helplessly: "Strength is indeed very important, who made him the number one master in the mainland!"

Situ Jiannan was about to leave the Prince's Mansion, but when he passed by a place, he came across a walk in the courtyard.

Situ Jing also found the person coming towards him, although he had not seen Situ Jiannan, but he did recognize the identity of the person who came immediately.

Situ Jing couldn't believe it, on the first day he came back to the imperial city, he met someone he wanted to see very much, and she said, "You are the third uncle." ”

In fact, Situ Jiannan didn't recognize Situ Jing's identity, but when he heard the words "third uncle", he immediately knew Situ Jing, his face was not too good-looking, and he glanced at Situ Jing and turned around to leave.

Situ Jing ran forward and stopped him, Situ Jing knew Situ Jiannan's identity not long ago, when Situ Jiannan left Situ Jiannan's house, Situ Jing was not yet born.

Situ Jing studied martial arts in the imperial city, and when he was fifteen years old, he heard of Situ Jiannan's name, but he didn't know that the other Situ Jiannan was his own uncle, but he was very yearning for him, and he took him as an example, and he must become a master like Situ Jiannan in the future.

It wasn't until later that I learned his identity, and he was still from the same family as himself.

Situ Jing said: "Third uncle, I am my niece Jing'er, I didn't know that you were my third uncle before, but I yearn for you very much, I always want to be able to stand at the same height as you one day, and I finally see you today." ”

"I have no relationship with the Situ family for a long time, I am not your third uncle. With that, he turned around and left.

Situ Jing saw that he didn't want to treat him, and he didn't want to force it, and he didn't stop it, she said: "It doesn't matter if you recognize me or not, I will work hard to learn swordsmanship, and when the time comes, I will come to challenge you." ”

After Situ Jiannan heard this, he stopped, he didn't look back, he stood there for a long time, and then walked away.

Eight days later, about the time of unitary, Yang Jin and the others returned to the Yang Mansion in Yancheng, this time more than ten people went out, but only four people came back, and everyone was in a sad mood: "After rushing for several days in a row, you all go back to rest first, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

After Yang Jin finished speaking, he left alone, in fact, he was very sad in his heart, although Feng Lizhen was not his son, but, in the past five years of getting along, Yang Jin liked his apprentice very much, he was kind, had a good character, and his talent was very high, now his life and death are unknown, and he is still missing in the Demon Beast Forest, so that he has no way, this sense of powerlessness is difficult for everyone to accept for a while.

On the way back, they circled again for a day in the place where Feng Liji entered the Demon Beast Forest, but there was no news, and they didn't dare to enter rashly again, in case they encountered the demon beast again, they would not have the same good luck as last time.

After Yang Wu separated from them, he returned to his residence, and not long after, there was a knock on the door, he got up to open the door and found that it was Steward Yang at the door, he asked in surprise: "Steward Yang, why are you here?"

Steward Yang asked in a hoarse voice: "Yang Wu, I just told my subordinates that you came back today, I went to knock on the door of Liji, he is not here, so I came to you to look for him, why didn't he come back with you?"

"Steward Yang, come and sit down first. ”

Yang Wu helped Steward Yang into his room and sat down, and after pouring him a cup of hot water, he thought for a while and replied: "Steward Yang This time we went on a mission, met a killer halfway, Lichen led the killer away alone when protecting his employer, and was attacked by the killer halfway through the body with poison, and finally was slapped by the killer into the monster forest, we have gone in to look for it, and there was no trace of Lichen, he should be fine, just got lost in it, we all believe that he will find a way out." ”

Hearing Yang Wu's words, Steward Yang's old face became even older, and a tense nerve collapsed instantly, as if he had aged dozens of years at once, and he sat there for a while without saying a word! In the past few days, he was restless, and he always felt that something bad had happened, but he really didn't expect that it was the bad news that Feng Liqi didn't know about life and death.

Yang Wu looked at Steward Yang's expression and said anxiously: "Steward Yang, don't worry, my brother is a man of great luck, he will definitely be fine, we ......"

Steward Yang's old voice interrupted Yang Wu's words and said: "Yang Wu, thank you for telling me, you don't have to comfort me, although I am not a person in the martial arts, but I still know the legend of the Demon Beast Forest, if Li Zhen really enters it, how can he survive with his seriously injured body, you don't have to comfort me, okay, I'll go first, you can rest well." ”

After saying that, Steward Yang got up and walked out, Yang Wu watched Steward Yang's rickety figure leave, and suddenly couldn't cry, they all knew in their hearts what the Demon Beast Forest meant to humans, they just didn't want to admit it!

The entire Yang Mansion was very dull for the next period of time, three months passed in a blink of an eye, Feng Lichen still did not come back, and everyone in the Yang Mansion had to accept the fact that Feng Lichen was dead, and after leaving, they negotiated to make a well-dressed mound for Feng Lichen, after all, they all really cared about Feng Lichen, and they didn't want him to die without peace.
